Houston Rockets 2016/2017 Pre-season thread

It's almost here!!!

Looking forward to this season. This is now clearly & 100% Harden's team. I've liked a lot of what I've seen this offseason from him & the other guys; but now it's time to look past the words and judge them by their actions.

Get Motie signed! Make the final moves!

Go Rockets!!!

October 1st is the deadline for Motie to take the qualifying offer (which would be very bad imo) so we should see something soon

Goodbye, Michael Beasley.

Hello, Tyler Ennis.

I didn't see this trade coming. What can we expect from Ennis?

Probably nothing much at least not this year, in college he had the game D'Antoni needs from a backup point guard but hasn't got that much of a chance to show it, he's good at running PnR and can shoot it a little bit.
If D'Antoni can't get anything out of him he probably isn't an NBA player

Still would take a flier on him 100x over keeping Beasley. The offense was 12 points per possession worse with him on the floor and the defense was 9 worse. He's 100% not an NBA player at least Ennis is only 21 and might be a capable backup one day.

Off topic, but Morey dodge another bullet. Some of us were so disappointed when Harden+Howard+Bosh+Parsons big 4 didn't happen.

Yeah, it's unfortunate how Bosh's health has become such a problem. I still remember being so incredulous that the Heat gave him that huge contract and how much I thought that it hurt Houston moving forward. They did have to scramble, but at least this is not a current issue for this team.

The Rockets will be signing Kyle Wiltjer, Bobby Brown, Isiah Taylor & Gary Payton II to 2 year, non-guaranteed contracts.

Gordon/kj/Hairston
Ariza/dekker/brewer
Anderson/Harrell/wiltjer---hopefully motie in the next day or 2
Capela/nene/onuaku
